~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Summary:As a trauma surgeon, Dallas is too busy to date, so he signs up with 1Night Stand, but his plans are derailed by a savage wolf attack. Still recovering, he agrees to meet with the woman Madame Eve found for him anyway. Werewolf Cara is disappointed when her date is cancelled at the last minute, but finds out a few weeks later why. She agrees to meet with him to help him to help him through all the changes he’s experiencing. Running out of time, they each meet with their own ideas, never realizing what Madame Eve really had in mind. Thoughts:Rebecca Royce certainly has a way with writing werewolves. She’s got plenty of world building in such a short time that catches anyone not familiar with her work up without any confusion. You can tell there have been other stories prior to this one, but it doesn’t hurt at all if you’ve not already read them, though it does peak your interest enough to…

As an
asthmatic, I’ve had my share of lung related difficulties. Thankfully though, I’ve never had lung cancer
or known anyone personally who has. I
am, however, that much more sympathetic to the plight. So when Heather Von St. James emailed me and
asked if I’d help spread awareness by sharing a little of her story and some
helpful information, I agreed.

Heather
was diagnosed with Mesothelioma, a highly aggressive cancer most commonly
attacking the lining of the lungs, as an adult, but learned it was caused by
wearing her dad’s jacket to do outdoor chores as a child. How, you ask?
It was covered in asbestos fibers.
I was skeptical that a person would track the cause to something so
specifically random, until I learned that Mesothelioma has exactly one known
cause: exposure to asbestos. Asbestos
still isn’t banned in the US. So while
it’s not widely used anymore, it’s still important to know the risk factors and
signs associated with lung cancer. General
risk factors for lung can…
